Nuremberg: The Last Battle is a groundbreaking reexamination of the infamous postwar trials based on unpublished diaries and papers of the principal actors—the judges, lawyers, and the war criminals themselves. David Irving takes a close-quarters look at the trial which finally ended World War Two: the Trial of the Century, held in Nuremberg from 1945 to 1946.
Where the city’s face bore the terrible scars of the mortal struggle between Germany and her enemies, which had ended in May 1945, the ghosts—those who survived Allied orders to shoot on sight if captured—continued the struggle for sixteen more months. The armies were unequal; one side was unarmed and had few friends.
President Harry S. Truman had appointed Robert H. Jackson as Chief of Counsel for the United States, charged with mounting the prosecution of the major Axis war criminals. His task seemed clearly defined. By the time the trial began in November 1945, many of his ideals had already been betrayed.
There would be few crimes listed in the indictment at Nuremberg of which one or other of the four prosecuting powers was not guilty of itself.
In the cause of defeating Adolf Hitler, civilian populations had been burned and blasted, murdered, brutalised, intimidated, deported, and enslaved; aggressive wars had been launched, neutral countries occupied by pretext and deceit, and the unalterable paragraphs of international conventions flagrantly violated.
Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to publish a new edition of this preeminent exposé on the infamous postwar legal battle. Nuremberg: The Last Battle remains to this day the most piercing insight into what really happened behind closed doors during the most significant trials of the twentieth century.
